~Elizabeth~ He was fond of doing this silly thing, keeping me in suspense, wanting me to ask questions that wouldn't get an answer.  I hated it. Right from day one, when I came for interview. He didn't tell me if I got the job or not. Just told me to leave. And I didn't receive any message for about weeks until he finally told me to resume that instant. Now he is going to the hospital my mum was and he isn't telling me why.  Wait, My mum, what would happen if I tell her I saw my dad? She honestly doesn't need to know about that. Especially in her health condition. I couldn't do that to her. Just the sight of him made me weak, imagine what it'll do to her.  "We're here. Are you coming down or you'll just stay zoned out

~Elizabeth~ Facing the wall, I stood still. The voice that just spoke to me remained silent. And none of us said or moved a muscle till I decided to turn around.  I really hoped and wished I was just hearing voices and that the person was not who I thought about. But when I turned and my eyes landed on the man, I knew I was not  just hearing voices.  "Dad." My voice shook mentioning the word.  He did not deserve the name, he did not try to ever act like the name my entire life. But I still called him that. Because when you think of it, he was my father.  I held unto my loose shirt and buttoned it back on then wrapped my hands around myself so he doesn't notice my recently shaking hands.

~Elizabeth~ I stood there. Frozen on the spot, my eyes wide as ever, my head blank with thoughts. His lips were on mine. He kissed me. I let him get too close and he kissed me. I felt tears sting my eyes at this thought.  Then he pulled away, but I still stood still, not knowing what next to do. My eyes met his and a wave of fear hit me.  "Y...you kissed..me.." I trailed off as my body shook.  "I-i didn't mean to...Elizabeth I..." "I decided to trust you just a little bit and...you...and you take advantage of me." I interrupted as a tear drop managed to slip down my cheek.  "What! No never...I didn't..." "You kissed me." The tears now didn't stop pou

~MR ADEYEMI~ FLASHBACK.... I walked briskly into the bank, I had to deposit the bag of money given to me. It was big, but according to the person I was working for, it was little compared to what he had in store for me.  My daughter was supposed to be here, with her boss, Badmus. According to what I heard. I was to quietly make her see me, without starting a conversation with her. And it was the easiest thing.  She had so much changed, she looked more...mature, and a lot more confident. She looked pissed at a moment, probably had a bad day. But that expression didn't last long on her face, it changed immediately she saw me.  It turned cold with fear.  I pretended not to

~DAVID~ "Help! I've been kid-"  Just like that, the line got cut.  I waited for a while, my brain processing what was happening, "What just happened?" Kelvin asked.  I was as confused as he was.  Her last words rang in my head all over again. What was it supposed to mean?  Help... She asked for help...something was up... "David, what's wrong?" Kelvin asked again.  "She said help." I deadpanned. ........... "We need to find her!" I demanded
